South Africa 7's and Elgon Cup

Although the names have not yet been officially released, a squad of 20 players are undergoing fitness drills under Doctor Arthur Kwizera. David Mutaka is preparing his squad for the international 7's tournament that will be held in South Africa next month. England, USA and Australia are some of the top teams from outside of Africa that the Ugandan ladies will face. The tournament will be an important build up for the Lady Cranes before the World Cup qualifiers where they shall battle it out with South Africa, Ivory Coast, Kenya, Madagascar, Tunisia, Zambia and Zimbabwe for one of the two slots alloted to Africa.
The 15 aside national team is also training under Sam Ahamya and Ramsey Olinga for the return leg of the Elgon Cup that will held on 16th August in Nairobi. Ahamya is working on strengthening his squad at the breakdowns as the Kenyans were a notch superior in that aspect of the game.
